Duration: 9:28

This video discusses the most dangerous handguns for concealed carry, focusing on the potential for negligent discharges (NDs). The speaker argues that striker-fired handguns, particularly those lacking external safeties and double-action triggers, pose a higher risk. The Glock and Sig Sauer P320 are identified as prime examples due to user misconceptions about their safety features and suitability for certain carry methods like appendix carry.

Quick Summary

Glocks are considered dangerous for EDC because they lack factory-installed external safeties and double-action triggers. Users often mistakenly believe the trigger safety dingus is sufficient, leading to unsafe practices like appendix carry and fast-draw training, increasing the risk of negligent discharges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a handgun dangerous for everyday carry (EDC)?

A handgun can be considered dangerous for EDC if it's more likely to cause an accidental discharge due to its design or user error. This includes firearms lacking external safeties or double-action triggers, and situations where users misunderstand the gun's capabilities or limitations, leading to unsafe practices like improper holstering or carry methods.

Why is the Glock considered a dangerous handgun for concealed carry?

Glocks are considered dangerous for EDC because they lack factory-installed external safeties and double-action triggers. Users often mistakenly believe the trigger safety dingus is sufficient, leading to unsafe practices like appendix carry and fast-draw training, increasing the risk of negligent discharges.

Is the Sig Sauer P320 a safe handgun for concealed carry?

The Sig Sauer P320, in its standard configuration, is considered less safe for carry due to its striker-fired design without external safeties or a double-action trigger. While a version with a safety is available and safer, the common perception and use of the standard model raise safety concerns for everyday carry.

How does a heavier trigger pull affect handgun safety for EDC?

A heavier trigger pull, like on a Glock, can offer a slight safety margin against accidental discharges from very light incidental contact. However, in most real-world scenarios involving accidental trigger activation during drawing, reholstering, or movement, the added trigger weight is insufficient to prevent a discharge, making it not a definitive safety feature.
